Should my mother's dose of Telmed CT 40 Mg, which she takes at night, be changed since her blood pressure has been high at 150/80 for the past two weeks and she is having trouble sleeping?
Please do not adjust her dose of Telmed CT 40 (telmisartan/chlorthalidone) without consulting her doctor. Because this medication contains a diuretic, taking it at night can cause frequent urination, which may be contributing to her trouble sleeping. Her doctor might suggest moving the dose to the morning to improve her sleep, and they will evaluate whether her medication needs to be adjusted to better control her blood pressure.
